R&D Solutions Fund
Through the R&D Solutions Fund, we bring people together to develop R&D opportunities, by funding early-stage research activities or providing specialist technical support to businesses and academics.
The fund responds to the need to develop new products and services for existing and emerging markets nationally and internationally, where the research intensity of our university can accelerate that innovation process. The University of Plymouth is committed to supporting our business community to create a vibrant and dynamic economy and help industries overcome barriers to growth.
